President Donald Trump said he would slap 10% tariffs on imports from eight European countries beginning next month, as he ramps up a pressure campaign on Denmark to sell Greenland to the U.S.
Denmark, which has sovereignty over Greenland, will be hit with the 10% levy on the goods it sells to the U.S. starting Feb. 1, Trump said in a lengthy post on his social-media network. Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Finland will also face 10% tariffs, Trump wrote, and threatened an even higher levy. He said all those countries would be subject to 25% tariffs on June 1 “until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland.”
